The Strongest Knight

It took twenty-one years for Gray to finally regain his memory.

This is a world similar to the ancient East, and the name Gray is obviously not suitable to be used here.

Gray decided to continue using the name 'Zhao Qinghe' which he had used for the past twenty-one years since he was born.

Before I found the way of Yin and Yang and got the opportunity for promotion, I was Zhao Qinghe of this world.

Reg, Gray, Zhao Qinghe, this is Gray's third real name.

"Have you decided to face the monster head-on? That's really my temper."

Zhao Qinghe shook his head. If he hadn't been tasked with finding the way of Yin and Yang, he might have really tried to drive away the monster.

Now, let’s see if we can achieve a breakthrough in these three days.

Even if he really wanted to go over and check the situation, Zhao Qinghe would not risk his life before finding the way of Yin and Yang.

Zhao Qinghe had experience this time and had an auxiliary system, so he was not planning to practice any knowledge or power system outside of this world.

"This time it's pretty good. Not only did I become a human, but once my memory awakened, I gained powers that surpass most ordinary people."

"However, the Barrow World Will marked this place as a fifth-level world. It should not be as simple as simple Jianghu martial arts. There is a deeper power related to the Yin and Yang behind it. I still have to dig deeper."

"A third-rate expert... Nine-fold sword technique... Then let's try to wake up the auxiliary system!"

Zhao Qinghe took a deep breath, gripped the machete tightly, and began to practice the Nine-fold Sword Technique.

Zhao Qinghe had practiced the Nine-fold Sword Technique for eight years and had already mastered it with ease.

Zhao Qinghe wielded a 49-pound machete with great vigor!

Fifteen minutes later, after practicing a set of Nine-fold Sword Technique, Zhao Qinghe was already covered in sweat.

"Ding, skill discovered: Nine-fold sword technique, skill training completion degree 55/100, do you want to start correction?"

The familiar prompt sound of the auxiliary system rang, and Zhao Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had been certified once in the Beast Taming World, this time it was a level five world. The moment he heard the prompt tone, the uncertainty in Zhao Qinghe's heart quickly dissipated.

"Has it reached 55%? The Nine-fold Sword Technique is indeed just an external skill. If you practice it to the extreme, you can only reach the first-class level. Above the first-class, it is probably difficult to achieve it with external skills alone, unless there is some rare treasure..."

After a little thought, Zhao Qinghe started his auxiliary training.

"Turn on correction!"

Buzz! A familiar feeling enveloped Zhao Qinghe's body.

Under the guidance of the auxiliary system, Zhao Qinghe's body began the first correction of the Nine-fold Sword Technique.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qinghe finished the first correction.

Streams of warmth emanated from every part of the body.

Looking at the level of cultivation of the Nine-fold Sword Technique, it has reached 60/100.

Zhao Qinghe knew he had made a breakthrough.

"Nine-fold kill!"

Zhao Qinghe shouted loudly and swung the machete in his hand forward!

Nine-fold sword strike, the secret of the Nine-fold sword technique in martial arts. When practiced to the extreme, one can make nine consecutive strikes, each one stronger than the last.

Amid the sound of breaking through the air, Zhao Qinghe slashed down seven times in succession before he lowered the machete with his blood boiling.

"Before, I could only perform five slashes, but now I can perform seven! I have indeed reached the level of a second-rate master."

By experimenting with the unique skills of the Nine-fold Sword Technique, Zhao Qinghe verified his breakthrough.

"As a second-rate expert, I am considered to have the ability to protect myself in the martial arts world. I will go on the monster-slaying trip the day after tomorrow with caution, but I can still go."

"If there are monsters, there should be corresponding gods, but I have never seen gods in the past 21 years. I have only heard of them occasionally. Maybe I didn't pay special attention to similar things in the past? I hope to find some traces of gods on my monster-killing journey..."

"It's a pity that there are no earlier awakening memories..."

Many cultivation methods have age restrictions. Zhao Qinghe was already 21 years old when he awakened his memory in this life. It is urgent to find the deeper power behind this world! ~

In seeking the Tao, one must find the entrance to the Tao before one can step over the threshold.

After Zhao Qinghe made his decision, he began to practice diligently at home.

Qingquan Town was very lively at this time.

Several clerks took the notice written by the chief clerk to the place where the notices were posted and immediately attracted a large number of people from the town to watch.

"Anyone who follows Captain Zhao out of the city to hunt down a person will be rewarded with one ounce of silver, regardless of whether they have done anything or not!"

"Whoever kills the monster will receive three hundred taels of silver!"

"Those who drive away the monsters can also receive 100 taels of silver!"

The annual expenditure of an ordinary family is only about ten taels of silver, so the reward from the county magistrate is very attractive.

Immediately, a brave man went to the county clerk who had set up a desk under the notice to sign up.

The county government doesn't recruit just anyone to be a clerk. They only recruit strong men with plenty of masculine energy. Some of the guys who have bad intentions and shifty eyes are simply waved away.

Therefore, although there were many respondents, only about thirty qualified men were recruited on the first day.

However, most of these men are over five and a half feet tall (one foot is 33 cm) or have strong shoulders and waists. They are all real heroes in Qingquan County.

On the second day after the Qingquan County notice was posted, slightly more people responded, with more than 50 people signing up. Some people from other counties received the news and thought they were quite brave, so they came specially.

In particular, a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked respectable also signed up, which encouraged the county magistrate Zhang Wen.

On the third day, the number of people dropped, with only a dozen signing up, but the team to defeat the monster at least exceeded a hundred people, and when they got together, their momentum was incredible.

County magistrate Zhang Wen picked out a dozen weapons from the county government warehouse and gave them to the bravest dozen people in the team.

That evening, a banquet was held in a restaurant in the county town, where more than a hundred heroes had a feast of delicious fish, meat, and other delicacies.

The invitation letter was sent to Zhao Qinghe, but Zhao Qinghe refused it on the grounds that cultivation was more important.

The next day, at dawn, more than a hundred strong men with vigorous blood gathered in front of the county government office.

The county magistrate Zhang Wen, the chief clerk He You, a group of hangers-on and clerks were all there, and many of the men's family members and curious county citizens gathered around, making the place very popular.

In the distance, the crowd was separated, and a six-foot-tall man in black clothes, carrying a broad machete on his back and with an unusually burly build, walked in.

When the men in the demon-slaying team saw the man coming, they gathered around and shouted, "Captain Zhao."

But it was Zhao Qinghe who finally arrived!

"Master Zhao!" The idle constable Li Hu quickened his pace and whispered something to Zhao Qinghe.
